“There was a sport a few days in the past when he did not even get on the pitch. If that was Max Dowman approaching on the finish, you’d suppose good expertise. But to see Phil Foden approaching in a cup final, it felt like a charity sub to get him on the pitch.
“I don’t know what has happened, he is a top player. It feels strange he can’t get anywhere near the team. It feels like something has gone on there.
“I assumed Foden was in good type however all of a sudden we’ve not seen him get any minutes. Firstly he will likely be happy they gained the cup however from a egocentric standpoint, he would have wished to be on the market and having an affect.
“That will be a tough one for him.”
